Almond Butter Protein Bars

Prep Time 20 min Serves 10 bars     adjust servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup GF rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 8 medjool dates pitted
  • 2 T chia seeds
  • 2 T flax meal
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In the food processor or Vitamix, grind the oats into a course consistency. 
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until a sticky dough is formed. 
  3. From here, you can roll them into balls or make them into bars like I did.  I used an 8 x 8 pan, but I think a slightly smaller pan would work better.  If you use a pan, line it with parchment leaving enough room to come out the sides.  That way they will be easy to pull out and cut. 
  4. I used a pizza cutter to cut mine. 
  5. Let them chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour.  That’s it.  I cut mine into squares and got about 10 in my batch.  Enjoy!
